The “Earphone-Guide” provides essential translation of dialogue and lyrics, as well as explanations relating to the stories, music, dance, actors, properties and other aspects of Kabuki & Bunraku that may be difficult for non-Japanese visitors to understand. Comments are carefully timed to coincide with the action on stage.

The “G-Mark Guide” (captioning) service will start in March 2015 at Kabukiza. According to the introduction of this new service, English Earphone-Guide service at Kabukiza will terminate at the end of April 2015.
